New Vaults and Vault Maintenance Counters
 

WELL, thought albus, i suppose i've gone into the wrong area, as his pronouncement of needs was roundly ignored by the busy goblins. so he waited in line as patiently as possible, and tried not to fume at this delay. after all, he was a young fellow who was used to being waited on immediately,( at least until his parents were killed...) now, his father's wand in hand, and his family gold, he needed to get his account, get his things, and get to school, or lose his inheritance, he thought impatiently...

Ethan found the line to get his vault and waited patiently but excitedly for one of the gobins to notice him. He couldn't help but think of home and all the things he had left behind.

albus waited on queue, waiting to get his inherited wizard gold safely in the bank...

Just before she entered Gringotts, Evelyn paused to...scowl. There was a reason she never really had an account here in the first place. Goblins. Merlin forbid if she had to talk to one, but with recent events, it was time to just suck it up and stick a smile on her face. The smile was more of a half-scowl though. Nevertheless, the young woman made her way over to the main hall, wand and small to medium sized box in her hands. This ought to be where she would be able to set up a new vault, right? Might as well wait in line for assistance to figure that out. It'd been quite awhile since she was here last.

As Milly staggered into the main foyer, for a moment she was overwhelmed, with all that she had been through that day she wanted to sink to the floor and sleep, but keeping a firm hold on Dizzy, who liked to wander she trotted to a crowded area and leant against a wall panting and trying to keep hold of a struggling Dizzy. Milly had been given money by all her relatives and she needed an account but she wished she could go back to the cosy inn where she had stayed the night but she knew that she had even more to do the next day and would regret leaving this important job. She groaned in despair as Dizzy took one strong lurch for freedom, and succeeded, Milly resigned herself to having to run after her. With another sigh she broke into a reluctant run...

Being one of an ancient pureblood descendants make Aphrodite frequently visit Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Accompany her brothers or accompany her Father met the Goblin for business matters, even accompanied her Mother took Galleons or other items of Dragongrass Vault. But today Father and Mother who accompanies Aphrodite to open her first account in Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Father insisted to make each child's account at the bank when they will begin their first year at Hogwarts. Busy atmosphere has felt as the morning began before noon, Aphrodite and her family into Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The Goblin is conducting their respective activities and Aphrodite with her Father walking towards the Goblin's desk that located at the end of the room.

Ratnik looked over at the girl approaching the counter. At least she had an adult with her. The little girls are the worst, but the adults...bearable at best. "Your form and wand," the goblin demanded of them to hand over, a grubby hand outstretched to receive them.

Father reached into the bag he was carrying and pulled out an envelope and also the wand that recently purchased by Aphrodite at Ollivander. "There they are," Father said to him as he put those stuffs in front of the Goblin.

Official Hogwarts Business
 

Harold "Hops" Lagerty was as happy as usual when he entered the large Wizarding Bank's marble hall. The Hogwarts Board of Governor's Treasurer walked with a bounce in his step towards the withdraws counter.

Even though he was in a good mood Lagerty was still dreading the trip down into the deep vaults. He was a man from a small Welsh fishing town, the depths underground were not for him.

Ali both loved and hated the grandeur of the place, it reminded her of home. A home she no longer had. Shaking off the depressing thoughts she made her way to stand in line and waited to be called over by one of the goblins. Goblins. Of course they handled the money. Greedy little things, weren't they? They gave Ali the chills that was for sure.

His joints ached. Quizzit Wizspigot's joints ALWAYS ached, but they were especially achy today. The disgruntled little goblin sat next to Ratnik and rubbed his stiff knees, adjusting his spectacles when a lady approached the counter. "New vault? If so, form and wand, please. Quickly, now, before I become anymore achy and can't even move," the librarian-like goblin commanded, outstretching a grubby hand to receive them.

Another man appeared, and Quizzit addressed him while waiting for the lady to hand over what he needed. "Withdrawal? I can take you to your vault if you provide me with your key, sir." But his JOINTS. So painful. The goblin cringed at the thought of having to walk all the way to that cart and all the way from the cart to vault, and then BACK again. Did he really have to do that?

He was too old for this.

Ali may not be the biggest fan of goblins, seen as they reminded her so much of her mother but her father did raise her to be respectful, whether she liked somebody or not. "Yes sir." She said as she handed over her form and grabbed her wand from her pocket. "It's 9 inches, oak wood and unicorn hair." She did so as fast as she could as she didn't want to annoy the goblin further, better at least try and remain on his good side. Wouldn't hurt my chances of getting a vault.

Hops hadn't been waiting long before a Goblin appeared at the high counter. It took a second, naturally, to notice that this Goblin was male rather than female--where was Quazi? She usually handled his business.

Deciding it wasn't necessary for the female Goblin to help him today on a rather routine withdrawal, the Board of Governors Treasure responded to the Gringott's worker's greeting. "Hello there, no keep just my wand for identification. Harold Lagerty, I'm here to retrieve some funds from the Hogwarts vault number 713 as Treasurer of the school's Board of Governor's." The man with salt-and-pepper hair smiled brightly at the man as he waited for his request to be processed.

Having to extend his arm and move his already aching joints to grab her wand and form disgruntled the elderly goblin even more, but Quizzit tried his best to be polite. "Here you are," he said, handing her wand back after a moment's inspection. He quickly examined and filed away her form before turning back to the little lady. "Shall we go open your new vault, then?"

More movement. Joy.

Not a key? Hm? Ah, the Hogwarts vault, number 713. Quizzit nodded understandingly and reached for the man's wand. "We can go make a withdrawal, then, shall we?" He moved to stand at the side of the treasurer, leading the way to the passageway to the tunnels and carts.

And his knees. His poor, stiff knees, aching with every step.

How he longed to be a young goblin again. Nostalgic sigh.

Good. At least they weren't completely unprepared.

Ratnik looked over the application, checked it against the wand, and filed it away. Then, it was onto the wand itself. He took his time inspecting it. He smelled it, ran his fingers along it, and even gave it a cautious taste with a flick of his tongue.

After deeming everything right, he put the wand down on the counter for the man or child to take. "Follow," he grunted, hopping off his stool and walking around the counters and through a set of doors, not bothering to look back and make sure they heeded his instructions.

Please post here next. :)

The quick look of confusion on the Goblin's face when Harold mentioned there not really being a key to the vault made him wish, once again, that it was Quazi that he was dealing with, as per usual but this one seemed to get it eventually. "Here's my wand.." The older man placed his wand into the outstretched hand with a smile.

And they were going to go get it now? "Alright, right behind you." Hops wasn't excited about going down there but he would be checking a big item off of his to-do list in the Alley once it was finished.

This one has mommy issues in case you couldn't tell haha
 

Ali quickly grabbed her wand as she didn't like being without it. It made her uncomfortable, like a part of her was missing. "Thank you." She said with a polite smile and a nod of her head as she began to follow him out of the room. She was really excited, finally something that belonged to her, something that couldn't be taken away by her mother.

Having some 'Peeves' problems. Hopefully the application got to you and just once
 

Zoe walked, wide eyed, up to the New Vaults counter. This place was much bigger than she expected and everyone around her looked very serious. "Excuse me. I would like to open a new vault. Is this where I need to do that?"

The Group Following Colin
 

Apologies for the wait! SS was not being nice. XD
 

Desiree felt like she had been waiting for hours. She absolutely hated waiting, but she never let people see her impatient. People would be less likely to give you things if you look rude and demanding. Yet another thing Mother taught her.

The line had moved, what, two people? Three? Mother had gone to sit down, leaving Desiree by herself. Finally. She hated how Mother watched her so carefully.

The line moved up slightly. Desiree was twirling her wand in her hand. She tried to look happy and smile, but she was sick of waiting.

He finally saw a sign that said new vaults. The building was very large and he had wondered if he would ever figure out where he should go. "I'm here for a new vault" the young boy said. His hand still clutching the money transfer sheet his mother had given him. Asher would have brought his mother, but she was still too sick to leave the house. He had to do it alone.

Nervous and slightly sick to his stomach, Asher patiently waited to be helped. He wasn't in a hurry, but he sure did want to hand over the bank information from his grandmothers estate before he lost it.

Calista had already filled out her new vault application and had some galleons in her sak bag to deposit. She needed to get her vault set up right away so she could start having her ministry wages put into her Gringotts account. There was some business she could not attend to until this was done. "Yes. Hello? Can someone please escort me to my new vault? I would sincerely appreciate it."

Aniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiita :3
 

Hands in her pockets as she went, Seren tagged along at the end of the line with her husband. This was the last thing she wanted to do today, or during her holidays at all, but the sooner it was done, the sooner it would cease plaguing them. Besides, they were still together for the day. One family unit. "They look busy..." Seren observed, her head turning to look up and down the length of the line and the counters.

Her blue eyes turned to her son as Aron removed him from his shoulders, already anticipating the tantrum.

"Shhhhh shhhh shhhhhhhh," she soothed, her arms already around Derfael and picking him up to hold around her waist. Merlin he was getting heavier. What did he weigh now? The equivalent of a moderately sized potted puffapod? "Mummy's got you," she cooed, kissing his blonde hair gently. And now that she had no work obligations she could hold him all day and all night for as long as she needed to.

Coriana sighed as she joined the line waiting for new vaults. "Was it like this when you got your first vault mom?" She sighed again when her mother nodded. "well, this sucks, glad i got the clothes first then." She fidgeted with her wand as the line moved slightly.

Seren couldn't help but laugh lightly, "I don't like our chances, but patience is a virtue." She didn't pay the goblins much attention, there was something about the way they looked right through you that left her feeling cold inside, hardly welcoming - though they weren't all so bad. No, rather, she took notice of the fact that more people were queuing up behind them, it was a busy day indeed.

Snuggling her face into Derf's, Seren gave him a little eskimo kiss before pulling faces with him. All smiles. Her darling husbands comment resulted in her smile broadening, "Here that Derfael? Daddy likes seeing us together again." It was just such a shame the school holidays would go more swiftly than they had come.

Lucy found the line to get her vault and waited patiently for one of the goblins to notice her..Goblins were very fascinating for her and Lucy admired them for their ability to construct objects of metal ..She clutched her wand in the pocket and she imagined touching the sword of Godric Gryffindor .. how she wanted to hold it someday ..

What was that noise? Sturnik's ears hurt. It sounded like human child. He patrol strolled toward the service windows. King Ragnuk the First! Was that female "adult" one sniffing the nose of the child? Humans had odd behaviors.

"We have a room to entertain the human children." he said as he passed. "I find that they don't help the banking process." He then gave them a good look over. As head of security, he found that they did not pose any threats. He didn't trust the child one though.

"What type of vault are you here for?"


More human children! It must have been summer. Oh how it was more fun to repossess the student belongings and not serve them. "What vault are you waiting for?" he asked looking at some female witch children. The Head of Security needed to know these things. Plus, if they were here for low security student vaults, he could move them up in the line.

With her son now quiet content on her hip, Seren was able to refocus on the task they'd set out to achieve in this... outing. Waiting was never her strong suit either, but she was willing to make the most of the time by unburdening herself of the troubles created by stress. Holidays were not for stressing. Holidays were for enjoying her family's company. For this reason the goblin's comment did not strike her as a viable option and though Aron seemed content with leaving it be and focusing on their account, she was not going to let it go.

"That's all well and good, but it won't be necessary, thank you," she commented, considering the goblin hadn't actually asked nor insisted. She was happy to keep things civil but she would not let him makes assumptions regarding the behaviour of her darling oak prince!

Coriana straightened as the goblin came towards them. "My parents and i are here to open a vault for me for school. "She smiled up at her parents as they turned towards the goblin. "We have a generous amount to put in it to start with."

Lucy shivered when the goblin talked. "I would open a new vault for me, I'm a student, a first year! My father already has a vault, he works at the S.Mungo hospital but.. I would a vault all to myself". She turned to her parents, who smiled her..

Ooh, look. Children. Lyzrog bounced excitedly as she watched little humans mill around the bank. There were older ones, too, but they weren't as fun. Lyzrog couldn't enjoy watching anyone, though, because there were children to be dealt with.

"Hello," she called with a bounce and a wave of her hand from her window. "Come, come. We can get you both fitted with a vault right up here."

Since Sturnik seemed busy with the little family, Lyzrog waved her hand again to get the next girl's attention. "Excuse me," she said, motioning for the girl to come over. "You're looking for a vault?" She leaned forward, putting on a smile for the girl. A cute little first year. "Please fill out this form, Miss, and we'll get a vault set up for you."

Very well then. Keep the human child. Just make sure it remained quiet. Unless he'd like to excite the dragon on their way down. Actually, Sturnik might enjoy that. Too bad his job not only meant he must protect the bank, but also the human patrons. Even the tiny smelly ones.

"Yes. Yes. Very well. You'll be pleased to know that those vaults are very safe. Inspected by myself personally." he said nodding to his head of security badge. "Have you already been approved?" he asked. He knew the humans had preapproved department heads and governors. Foolish move, he thought, considering the type of vault that was robbed. But it wasn't his decision. "I would also need to see both of your wands." he said holding out his hand. He needed to examine them. "I also assume an application has been filled out."

Finally! There was some help. Sturnik made a mental note to check on everyone's break schedule. It seems that they all seemed to fall at the same time. Not very efficient in his opinion. He offered a wave and his trademark smile to the window goblin. He then commented, very slyly, on how nicely she looked in her dress. In Gobbledegook, of course. He didn't want the humans knowing he had a soft spot for the pretty ladies. No, sir. He was a tough goblin.

Leah turned around to see another goblin waving at her from another window. Yeah! Leah hurried to that window before the other girl got in front of her or someone else could call her back.

"Hello. So, I can get a vault? Right now?" she asked, rocking on her feet. "It's pretty exciting, getting my own Gringotts vault. I read that it is going to very safe."

"Oh, the vice president." She was handling the Board's vice president! Good thing she hadn't let Jake take THIS one.

Not that she wouldn't. Ahem.

Upon reaching the new vault window, Lucia tapped the counter in front of an old looking goblin to get his attention. He'd been previously busy with some paperwork, but the customers were more important, right? "Do you think you could handle this man for me, Mr. Wizspigot? He's the vice president of the Board of Governors, so he's already on our list of those with pre-approved dignitary vaults."

Oh lord. Quizzit wouldn't have to take the man UP there, would he? His stiff knees had been hurting all day; there was no way he'd make it to a vault without collapsing. But since Mrs. Clark had asked, Quizzit nodded a crotchety nod and nudged a form at the man.

"Fill that out." So polite, he was.

NOOOOO it was goblin time. Sigh. Nolan knew this was inevitable coming to Gringott's and whatnot...and of course, as he expected, he wasn't very friendly. So Nolan quietly took the application from him and began to fill it out. Pretty straightforward!

Once he was finished, he smiled politely and pushed it back across the counter to him. "There you go - all done!" he told him happily. Come on goblin, cheer up! Nolan was nice!

& the wife with child
 

Goblin and Aron ... with mention of Leah ^___^
 

Somewhere between entertaining her son and interjecting as her handsome husband dealt with the goblin, Seren heard a familiar voice. Looking away from the bright blue eyes of her little man, her gaze came to rest on Leah. "Miss Abbott, it's good to see you too," she replied, offering the girl a quick wink before they both returned their attention to their bank business.

Though it may have appeared she was distracted by the two year old, she wasn't and had listened attentively enough. "... and Deputy Headmistress..." she attached to the end of Aron's sentence. That made her VIP where Hogwarts staff were concerned, no? She wasn't all too thrilled with handing her wand over, but if it was necessary, so be it. Balancing the child on her hip, she removed her wand from her holster and held it out tentatively.

"Yes!" Said Lucy who looked at the goblin.."I'm looking for a vault!"
Can you help me choose a vault very safe for me?

Coriana smiled when she heard someone call out to the line. "Mom, that one looks available." They headed over to the window. "Hi, my name is Coriana Hayes, i am here to open my vault. I am a first year at Hogwarts. My mom has a vault here already."

Marie stood in line with her parents and her older siblings. Since she was now 11 and going to Hogwarts, she was going to get her own vault instead of sharing the family vault. Ed had his own, Anna had one, now it was Marie's turn.

"Once you get sorted, we'll come decorate the vault in blue and bronze." Father was saying now. "Another Ravenclaw vault in the family."

"Does everyone decorate their vaults?" Marie couldn't imagine that all of these people had decorated vaults.

"No dear, but it makes the vaults special." Mother always did like feeling special.

Marie nodded and went back to quietly waiting for a worker to summon them over.

Sturnik nodded. Both were considered dignitaries according to the humans. Interesting. He accepted the identification and the wands. He gave them a quick glance over and then took a quick sniff.

Yup. They were wands.

He then gave them a quick measure using the edge of the counter. "Mahogany and Avodire." he said handing them back. "We are all set. Would you like to visit your vault now? Will the child be coming? There are dragons on the way, so if there is anyone sensitive to smoke, I recommend they stay behind."

After adjusting her grip Derfael, preventing him from slipping any further down her waist, Seren retrieved her wand and returned it to her concealed holster. At the mention of taking a look at their vault, and... dragons, Seren turned to gauge Aron's reaction. His shrugging told her all she needed to know.

"I'm fine without, unless you want to?" she replied, reluctant to let go of their son - and she wasn't all that keen on introducing him to dragon smoke.

Coriana sighed as another girl beat her to the open window. "Mom, is it always like this in here?" When her mom shrugged, Cori sighed and went back to patiently waiting for her turn.

& goblin by extension
 

New Vault
 

The uniformed boy drew closer to the highly polished desks and followed the logical progression of filling out one of the new vault forms. When it came to what sort of vault he wanted, he stalled for a moment. He felt that a student one would fill to capacity too quickly and might even come with binding spells that would only allow for the vaults contents to be used toward education. And a business one? Well, he wasn't fully fledged yet. He liked the sound of 'Other', though. That sounded flexible and like something he might be able to negotiate his needs into.

"Hello." He began, putting his best efforts toward using what Gobbledegook he was able to teach himself. Surely, everyone there knew some portion of the language, right? The rest, he carried out in English, just in case. "I need to open a new vault. Can you help me?"

AJ had money. AJ had money. AJ had money, hey, hey, hey, hey. It was goblin time and the lion was not able to hide her excitement. The rumors were true. EEP. She wondered if she could pet it. Better yet, could she have her very own goblin? It would be nice to have a back up plan incase her unicorn fell through.

There was a line, and AJ raced over to stand behind the last person. She was having problems staying still though. Jumping up and down in place happened partly because she was THAT excited, and partly because she couldn't see the action over the tall dude in her line of vision. Move over, dude. Was it her turn yet?

Well. It was that time of year again. Jake was just getting back into the swing of things after his time off, and now the students were home from school and they would surely be swarming the street and, in turn, the bank. Time to get to work.

Jake looked up as he saw a young boy approach the desk out of his peripheral vision, his eyebrows raising slightly at the Gobbledegook. How old was this kid? Jake wondered if he knew any other words in the language, but he didn't ask. Instead he just smiled and replied, "Hello," also in Gobbledegook, then in English, "I sure can. Have you filled out the new vault form?"

And behind that boy was a girl who looked to also be a student. Jake smiled to himself when he noticed the girl bouncing slightly. Excited? Maybe it was her first time in the bank.

"Hello, Miss," he said, trying to catch her attention. "Welcome to Gringotts. What can I help you with today?"

"Joost finished." Cutty said with a smile passing the completed form over to the wizard by sliding it beneath his hand. "Do you need to see my wand also?" And he had six billion questions too. One of which came out whilst he had reached for his wand. "Is Gringotts insured in the event of a thief making his or her way into my vault?"

It was definitely a busy day. You got used to most of the year being somewhat slow in the bank most days, and then summer came and it was suddenly a popular place to go.

"Hi, welcome to Gringotts. How can I - Penelope?" Jake blinked when he actually saw who he was talking to. It had been... two years since he'd seen his friend. Friend? Did he even count as a friend now? He cleared his throat and sat up a little straighter. "How're you doing, Penelope? It's been a while. What can I do for you?"

Jake took the application and started reading it over. He nodded to the kid's question without looking up. "I will need your wand," he answered.

At the next question, he almost laughed. Almost. "Gringotts is completely safe. There hasn't been a robbery here in a really long time." Other than the goblin-aided kind, but he wasn't going to mention it. Most people probably remembered what had happened anyway. "But yes. It's insured." At least he thought it was. ...Fingers crossed.

He leaned forward slightly and turned the form around for the boy to see. "Mr. Mordaunt, there is a slight problem with your application. You asked for a Special Use Vault, which I'm afraid I can't assign to you at this time. I would suggest a Student Vault instead. It has everything that you specified on your application, and you can always upgrade to an Individual Vault at a later time if you exceed the capacity of the vault." He looked at the boy to see if that was okay.

It was her turn already? Cool, that didn't take lon- How did this person know her name???

She looked up from the form she'd picked up and...oh. It was Jake. Merlin, she'd forgotten he worked here. Pretty easy thing to forget after, what, two years now? But also a really inconvenient thing to forget because now this was awkward. Merlin.

She was gonna try not to let it be though. Penelope could totally be professional about this. No issues here. "Hey, Jake." Well, calling him by his first name probably wasn't technically professional...but whatever. "M'doing okay. Just here to open a vault." She filled out the last bit of the form before handing it over to him. "Hope I filled it all out right."

"Hiiii," she singsonged. "Thank you sir. I'm here to open up my very own vault." AJ was beaming from ear to ear. This was exciting stuff here. "I have 10 galleons, 5 sickles, and 1 knut." She was proud of that.

The soon to be second year looked around. While the man was nice, she was disappointed that a goblin wasn't helping her. She really did want to pet one. "Is it true that we get to go on a ride?" Because she loved roller coasters.

Jake just couldn't help but smile - this girl was just obviously so excited. Honestly, it was one of his favorite parts of the job, seeing kids come in and be in awe of the bank itself or the goblins or whatever. It was fun to see them like that. "Okay," he said with a small laugh, "I'm going to need to see your vault request form, if you've filled one out already. And your wand, please."

At the girl's next question, he chuckled again. "It's a bit of a ride, yes. I hope you don't get motion sickness?" He smiled.


... well, this was slightly awkward. Really, Jake didn't see how it wouldn't be, considering how long it'd been and the fact that they used to be fairly close. And apparently Penelope didn't want to do the catch-up thing. This was going to be strictly business, then. He could do that.

He looked over the form that she handed to him, nodding slightly as he read. "Everything looks great. I'll need a look at your wand, please. And that'll be ten galleons to register."

For once this lion was prepared and had her form all filled out and ready to go. "I crossed all my T's and dotted all of my I's." Mmhmm. It wouldn't be because of her that things were delayed. She plopped the form down on the counter. It was time to hand over her wand. AJ gingerly placed her hand around it and took it out of the holster. "Be super easy with it please. We are just back on speaking terms." Her and her wand didn't always see eye to eye.

A ride. YES!!! "Me? No way. I am so ready." Pumped would be an understatement. Could she go now? "Do I get to ride with a goblin?" That would make her whole banking experience.

Thank Merlin he seemed to be going along with keeping this focused on business and stuff. 'Cause this was neither the time nor the place to catch up or address things. And right now she really just wanted to open a vault and have that done so it was one less thing she had to worry about.

Thankfully she'd filled the form out fine, so Penelope pulled out her wand and handed it over to him. Then she opened her bag to grab a handful of galleons and counted out ten of them. Imagine the food she could have bought with that. But this was the price to pay for having a vault here apparently. Ah well. She handed those to him too. "There you go. Anything else?"

Mr. Mordaunt.

The faintest smile played around the boy's mouth as he was addressed by his father's name. It amused him when people addressed him by this title.

A soft ker-tap! sound was swallowed by the vastness of the space that was Gringotts bank as Cutty placed his wand on the surface of Jake's desk. He listened as the wizard went on to explain about his vault options and his almost buggy eyes glanced down for a moment as if considering whether or not he'd be alright with a student vault. He was in fact, simply re-evaluating his plan. "A student vault sounds perfect. Booht,...Do other types of assets count toward the vault capacity? Say I over-exceed capacity, could I take that money and place it into the market as a stock or a bond?" Cutty was game for getting in on the ground floor of the Wizarding business world. He wanted to be a part of it one day himself. Also, he wanted to meet Anna Greingoth-Newell. In a strange way, she was slowly becoming his hero. And he figured if he invested enough money in her company, he'd have an even better chance of seeing that to fruition. He wouldn't have to be nice to Sophie Newell. Mwahahahaah!

Finally Cyprien was going to be able to go ahead and open an account at Grigotts. It would feel good to have his money in a place that was secure. Waiting in line Cyprien stepped up to the counter. "Excuse me? I would like to open an account?"

Anyone ready to be taken to their vault
 

Walking into a big beautiful building. Prim thought it was the craziest thing she went through all day. she was so scared she would do something stupid. lets hope she doesn't trip again.

That was probably him. Cutty saved his question for another round of research, though his hunch that it didn't count was probably right as such assets didn't take up any more space than a document with the stock information required. Perhaps, when the time came he could simply invest or opt for a larger account as the wizard helping him had suggested.

He finished up with the wizard and followed the Goblin to his new vault. Of his own. No mother dipping in and spending it on whatever dumb thing. He had his own vault!

Brennan Nithercott walked into the line and waited for his turn. He didn't know what to expect from his new vault.

Brennan smiled at her, "I'm here to open a vault."

Carol had been so busy with daily life that she had only just remembered about going to Gringotts in order to open a vault. She was now standing in the queue with her wand clutched tightly in her hand, ready for the goblin/s to inspect.

Tex nodded and looked over the paperwork. Everything looked in order there. "I just need to register your wand and then one of our vault goblins will escort you to your new vault." she said.

She extended her hand over the counter and waited to be handed the wand.

Another customer. "How may I assist you?" Tex asked surveying the witch.

"I would like to open a vault, please," Carol said as she extended her hand that had her wand in it towards the goblin.

Carol nodded. "I would love to visit my vault now, thanks," she replied.

Lyzrog practically bounced over to where she was needed at the counter. She always liked taking people to their new vault. They were usually either really excited or really scared, and both of those options were fun for the goblin.

"Follow me, Miss," she said to the girl, "I'll take you."

OOC: You can go ahead and post at the vaults.

15-year-old Austin Moore walked into the Bank. He had been in a few times with his father, but never on his own. This summer he was planning on working at his father's shop, and he needed a place to store his money. The teen was both excited and nervous. Was he too young to get his own vault? Did he have to have his father here too? Either way he walked up to a free counter, and waited to be helped.

As usual, Quizzit Wispigot's joints had been aching all morning. They were so stiff and painful that he found it almost difficult to even complain (which was an often occurrence, really). Perhaps it was time for him to retire? He was grumbling to himself in Gobbledegook when someone approached.

Ah. A wizarding youngin, and a fresh-out-of-school looking one at that. Let him guess— he wanted to open up a VAULT? How rare!

"How may I help you, sir?" the elderly goblin asked, some of his disgruntlement seeping into his tone.

Austin was a bit confused at the question. Surely the only reason he was here was to open his own vault. But maybe there were people who had other business. No matter his reason for being here, there wasn't a reason for the tone. His father had told him about the goblins, but he didn't think it was true.

"Um, I'd like to open a vault please." He tried to sound as confident as he could, but it came out shy. Austin felt embarrassed that he had wasted this goblin's time, even if it was his job. All he wanted to do now was go home.

"I'll need to register your wand." Lots of information was gotten from that thing, it was. Quizzit could tell he had embarrassed or scared or somehow befuddled the young lad, and it really hadn't been his intention. He was just SO achey this morning.

But he attempted to smile (which came out more like a grimace) as he extended his hand for the boy's wand.

Ahhhh. The elbow. Most painful, creaky thing of all.

Austin pulled out the holster that was attached to his leg and handed it to the goblin. He seemed to be rather angry about something, and he hoped that it wasn't his fault. Although the boy wasn't sure what he could have done in the span of a few minutes. He had only said one sentence.

The fifteen year old found it best to just wait out what the goblin had to say, instead of trying to strike up a conversation. He let his mind wonder a little bit, thinking about what kind of information a wand could give.They couldn't speak, obviously, but... how does one extract information? Was there a spell? Or a potion that you could put on the wand? It was very intriguing.

While he examined the wand, weighing it and taking other measurements and notes, he spoke again.

"Do you have your application? Give it here, please."

Wizspigot & Cutty
 

After parting ways with Mrs. Clark, Cutty (now a grown wizard) made his way over to the New Vaults and Maintenance Counter. Third Goblin from the left. That would be where Mr. Quizzit Wizspigot would be found. Cutty looked up to see with Goblin in question and his immediate thought was focused on whether or not he had an eligible daughter. The scrutiny would be amazing but the ins with the Goblin community would be worth it. And if one knew nothing about the Wizarding economy, one knew that it was of Goblin origin. One of those things not talked about openly at parties, though.

"Mr. Wizspigot. I'm Cutty Mordaunt. Mrs. Clark sent me here to evaluate my Gobbledegook." He had on a faint smile as he wondered if he should've said all of that in Gobbledegook.

He should have. He really should have.

Quizzit Wizspigot, stiff joint extraordinaire, was expecting a Goblin language speaker, not... this. His tone as he replied in rapid Gobbledegook conveyed as much to the Mordaunt boy.

"Mr. Mordaunt," was the hissing translation, if Cutty was educated enough to understand it, "These are the vault counters. The Potions Market counters are over there. Tell me, why are you here if that is where you wish to work?"

Tex had her eye on this one. She did not appreciate being scowled at. She, however, was mentally formulating how to deal with this one.

Nothing but pure business.

"What brings you to Gringotts."

SPOILER!!: Tex

"What brings you to Gringotts."

Seb moved up to the counter and tried his best to friendly, (which was at best a grimace) trying to hide his disdain for the place under his forced, thin-lipped excuse of a smile.

What else would he be doing here other than wanting to open a vault?

Just keep your mouth shut, Seb.

"I'd like to open a new vault," he said in a gruff tone, before adding "please."

He slid his wand out from the inside of his suit-jacket and placed it on the counter, alongside with the application that he had filled in.

He was in no mood to stay here longer than was needed.

Tex grabbed the wand and looked it over. 12 and 1/3 inch cedar wand. She checked that against application. Yes. Very good.

"It appears everything is in order." she said sliding the wand back across the counter. She filed the paperwork then turned her attention back to the man.

"Do you want to see the vault now or would you rather leave your first deposit here?"

Tex extended out her hand to accept the young girls wand. She silently examined it before handing it back. "12.75 inches, hickory, unicorn hair core." she commented more to herself. She then double checked a list of records sitting next to her.

"Could I get your name?"

"Selina Valentine" Selina answered, slightly worried that they would for some reason deny her entry into the family vault.
What if they were going to insist she was of age, before they let her enter!? Then she'd have to go to school with second hand books and uniform. No that would not do!

Tex nodded. She updated the file with a few quick quill strokes.

"Follow me please." she said sliding off her stool. She grabbed a ring of keys and led the way over to the vaults.


OOC: Since the Opening Feast has now started, we'll be wrapping up DA rps. Feel free to post in the vaults. I just ask that you make it one post as students should now be at school. ^_^
